This is another delicious recipe selection from Eating Well for a Healthy Heart by Dr. Philip A. Ades. The actual name of the recipe is Edamame Succotash with Shrimp, but I wasn't a fan of succotash growing up. This is nothing like what we were served in the school cafeteria. It is fabulous. The edamame is the substitute for the lima beans which are usually in succotash. I used bacon that was already cooked. It is more expensive, but much less greasy and messy to prepare.

1. In a large nonstick skillet, sauté onion, bell pepper, thyme, and garlic in olive oil until tender. Stir in edamame, corn, broth, vinegar, and salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium low and cook for about 10 minutes.

2. Sprinkle shrimp on both sides with lemon pepper. Scatter shrimp on top otf the vegetables and cook until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 5 minutes.

3. Add crumbled bacon. Top it off with a few drops of balsamic vinegar.
